Biography
Jeanine Ferris was born in Elmira, New York in 1951, and she graduated from Albany Law School in 1975. That same year, she became Assistant District Attorney of Westchester County, and, in 1990, she became the first female judge elected in Westchester County. She served as Judge of the Westchester County Court from 1991 to 1993, District Attorney of Westchester County from 1994 to 2005, and Chair of the New York State Commission on Domestic Violence Facilities from 1997 to 2005. As the first female District Attorney of Westchester County, she gained considerable visibility in cases of domestic abuse and crimes against the elderly. In 2006, she briefly sought the Republican nomination for the US Senate against Hillary Clinton, but she dropped out of the race to run for New York Attorney General, ultimately losing to Andrew Cuomo. Starting in 2008, she began to host Judge Jeanine Pirro on The CW, and she hosted Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News after 2011. After Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, she was known for delivering fiery defenses of the president, and her show was almost universally positive about Trump.
